You could be forgiven in thinking that this was New Zealand ot the UK, there are not many parts of Australia that look as green and lush as this. Atherton is in Nothern Queensland, not too far from Cairns and it gets plenty of rain throughout the year. After driving for 6 months and seeing nothing but dry bushland we were amazed and could not stop snapping away! Weird when you think we grew up seeing this sort of thing every day in the UK!
